2:12 这样看来，我亲爱的弟兄，你们既是常顺服的，不但我在你们那里，就是我如今不在你们那里，更是顺服的，就当恐惧战兢，做成你们得救的工夫。
2:13 因为你们立志行事，都是 神在你们心里运行，为要成就他的美意。
2:14 凡所行的，都不要发怨言、起争论，
2:15 使你们无可指摘，诚实无伪，在这弯曲悖谬的世代，作 神无瑕疵的儿女。你们显在这世代中，好像明光照耀，
2:16 将生命的道表明出来，叫我在基督的日子好夸我没有空跑，也没有徒劳。
12Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing, 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.
